Abstract

Background

Compassion fatigue and burnout have detrimental effects on nursing students. Moral distress has been recognized as a contributing factor to both, potentially impacting the intention to leave nursing programme.

Aim

To examine relationships among moral distress, compassion fatigue and burnout on intention to leave the nursing programme among nursing students.

Methods

A cross-sectional correlational design was used. Four hundred eighty-four nursing students from nine higher educations participated. Data were collected using the Moral Distress Scale-Revised, Compassion Fatigue Self-Test, and a single item examining the intention to leave.

Results

Mild to moderate levels of moral distress but high levels of compassion fatigue and burnout were reported. In regression analysis, year of study (OR = 14.323, CI = 1.273–161.143, p < 0.031), length of clinical learning (OR = 1.061, CI = 1.020–1.103, p < 0.003), moral distress (OR = 3.181, CI = 1.848–5.475, p < 0.001), burnout (OR = 1.165, CI = 1.118–1.214, p < 0.001) were associated with a higher chance of intention to leave. Attendance of an ethics course for >30 h (OR = 0.164, CI = 0.041–0.653, p < 0.010) and the interaction between moral distress and burnout (OR = 0.977, CI = 0.968–0.987, p < 0.001) were associated with a significant decrease in the intention to leave.

Conclusion

Burnout is a strong predictor for intention to leave the nursing programme among nursing students. Interventions addressing moral distress, compassion fatigue, and burnout might prevent intention to leave the nursing programme.

探讨道德困扰、同情疲劳和职业倦怠对香港护理专业学生离职意向的影响:横断面研究
背景同情疲劳和职业倦怠对护理专业学生有不利影响。目的 探讨道德困扰、同情心疲劳和职业倦怠与护理专业学生离职意向之间的关系。方法 采用横断面相关设计。来自 9 所高等院校的 484 名护理专业学生参与了研究。采用道德困扰量表(修订版)、同情心疲劳自测和单项离校意向测试收集数据。结果报告的道德困扰程度为轻度至中度,但同情心疲劳和职业倦怠程度较高。在回归分析中,学习年份(OR = 14.323,CI = 1.273-161.143,p < 0.031)、临床学习时间(OR = 1.061,CI = 1.020-1.103,p < 0.003)、道德困扰(OR = 3.181,CI = 1.848-5.475,p <;0.001)、职业倦怠(OR = 1.165,CI = 1.118-1.214,p <;0.001)与较高的离职意向相关。参加 30 小时的道德课程(OR = 0.164,CI = 0.041-0.653,p <0.010)以及道德困扰与职业倦怠之间的交互作用(OR = 0.977,CI = 0.968-0.987,p <0.001)与离职意向的显著降低有关。针对道德困扰、同情疲劳和职业倦怠的干预措施可能会防止护理专业学生产生退学意向。
